Former Cardinals coach Steve Wilks to land with Browns as defensive coordinator

Steve Wilks, the man the Arizona Cardinals fired after their 3-13 2018, is about to land on his feet with a new job in the NFL. He is set to become the defensive coordinator for the Cleveland Browns under new head coach Freddie Kitchens.

The Browns had interviewed Vance Joseph for the job, but he signed on with the Arizona Cardinals. Wilks interviewed after that and, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, is closing in on a deal with Cleveland.

The #Browns are working on a deal to hire former #AZCardinals head coach Steve Wilks as their defensive coordinator, sources say. A strong hire to work with all that talent as new coach Freddie Kitchens builds his staff.
